"Societies of the past and present are just complex systems composed of people and technology. The theory of “normal accidents”
suggests that complex technological systems regularly give way to failure. So collapse may be a normal phenomenon for civilisations, regardless of their size and complexity. We may be more technologically advanced now. But this gives little ground to
believe that we are immune to the threats that undid our ancestors. Our newfound technological abilities even bring new,
unprecedented challenges to the mix. And while our scale may now be global, collapse appears to happen to both sprawling
empires and fledgling kingdoms alike. There is no reason to believe that greater size is armour against societal dissolution. Our
tightly-coupled, globalized system is, if anything, more likely to make crisis spread."

Even the scientific literature is starting to seriously consider collapse, and show how easy it would be for our complex and tightly-coupled industrial system to collapse. They are even coming around to hunter-gatherers being a possible future long term, and a possibility for a large part of the population in the short-term.

Kaczynski is being proven right every passing day.
